We are okay Brother,
And by that I mean, we are alive.
So many others were not as fortunate. I do not… I can not think of anything to say. I do not think there are words for it. It is… inhuman. Alien. This is not an act of war, Brother. There is no blood being exchanged. It is simply, blood.
I am sure you have watched closely. I do not need to repeat the terrors that have happened these past nights, or the impossibilities. Even if some of them were miracles. I am sorry – I know that the thoughts in my head and heart have been spinning like oil on water. And I know, if you could, this Blight would never plague any of us again. We have ideas as to why it might happen, and even though Highness did not touch long on the magicks that the Wings may have, it should work the same, should it not? If I can break down the magicks they use to help the sick, maybe I can rebuild something to remove the Blight specifically. Maybe, in the end, there really is a way to rid one of it?
We are trying very hard to focus on what we can control, and what we can control is how to get the truth to the people that are frightened. Sanctuary Inc. is not only becoming a movement to lower how much mana people use, but to bring them the truth about what has happened, or is happening. And… knowing that there was someone close that knew the truth, knew what was happening, and likely had a way to tell people but chose not to… it made me angry. I watched that piano a lot while we have been in here. Silas used it multiple times, and while I could not see what he was doing, I could tell that he was working with someone. The blue man did too. So… I tried it.
And we reached Z3r0.
I do not think he was happy to be reached - I do not think he thought he could be reached, at that. But, he made sure no one would use the piano again once we finished speaking. He was able to help, using weird magicks that read like computer language and made things ‘impossible to see.’ I do not mean just with the eyes, but from minds. He made it so things could not be followed, not just by foot steps, but by history. It is hard to explain, but I hope you see what I am trying to say. Or maybe, you do not? :)
We have been told to stay here. Z3r0 is sending something for Silas, and that will, hopefully, give us some guidance. Until then, we have a few plans to keep us occupied. Lux is able to, now that we can not be traced, start something on Io.Na to begin hosting our findings. Then, we need to figure out how to move safely during this… ‘lock down.’ People, and the Navy, are very very scared right now. I do not think any safety we thought we had before, is safety we will continue to have. Being unseen does not mean we can not be touched.
Until Better News,
Xhoya
May I ask you something Brother?
… Am I going to die?
If I am…. Will you tell me? So that I can practice being brave?
